Lightning Labels, custom label and sticker printing leader, is helping brands get their BBQ sauce labels ready for National Barbecue Month. Since Memorial Day is one of the most popular days for grilling out, it's not surprising that the national celebration of cookouts takes place during the same month. A poll conducted by the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association reported that 80 percent of Americans appreciate the ease of outdoor cooking and 62 percent of families that cookout use some kind of rub or marinade. It's clear that the time is now to take advantage of National Barbecue Month.

"Barbecues are an American tradition that National Barbecue Month celebrates annually," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "People love cooking out in summer and experiencing the great outdoors with family and friends. Designing barbecue sauce labels to appeal to these consumers could be a great benefit this May and as the weather continues to get warmer."

Brands that market the month-long holiday on BBQ sauce labels could see an increase in sales.

Make Custom Sauce Labels That Appeal to Everyone
There are so many varieties of barbeque it's easy to make custom sauce labels that appeal to any market. Because the group of consumers for barbecue sauce is so vast, it may be smart to target specific markets rather than aiming labels more generally at all consumers. For example, some consumers are very interested in regional American or even international types of barbecue sauce. In these cases, it could be useful to indicate the origin of your particular barbecue style on the label. Other markets like unique flavor profiles that may be outside of the range of a typical American BBQ sauce.

Other Personalized Food Labels Could Be Smart for BBQ Season
There are many items that could benefit from personalized food labels during National Barbecue Month. Food products like ketchup, mustard, relish and salsa also frequently appear at barbecues and often come in many different varieties as well. Indicate that May is a special month for outdoor cooking on labels and consumers may be more likely to select your product for their cookout. Use common barbecue imagery like grills and green grass to make it apparent that shoppers could have fun with your condiments outdoors. It's also crucial to use the right labeling materials, since your products will be taken outside. Labels should be attractive and functional.
